The crypto world is holding its breath as the White House prepares to release its first comprehensive cryptocurrency policy report on July 30, 2025, including an important section on Bitcoin and XRP.
Dubbed a “regulatory Bible” by insiders, the report stems from President Trump’s Executive Order 14178 and aims to provide sweeping guidance on digital asset oversight, stablecoin rules, and national security concerns.
Chaired by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with key contributions from SEC Chair Paul Atkins and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets has spent the last six months drafting what could become the foundation for U.S. crypto regulation for years to come.
With growing political interest and pending crypto bills in Congress, this policy release is expected to influence not just lawmaking, but also market sentiment, especially around Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserves and Government Holdings
A highly anticipated section of the report will focus on the U.S. government’s Bitcoin holdings, rumored to be around 198,000 BTC, worth over $23 billion. However, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) disclosures suggest that only 28,988 BTC may currently be under federal control.
The report may also outline a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve strategy, first proposed by Trump in March, possibly indicating budget-neutral methods to accumulate more BTC. If confirmed, this move could influence global crypto adoption and attract more institutional investment.
XRP Whales Bet Big Ahead of Policy Reveal
Meanwhile, XRP whales have opened $25 million in long positions, anticipating favorable U.S. policy for domestically-rooted digital assets. Technical analysts cite a bullish pennant pattern with upside potential to $5.96 if current momentum holds.
The convergence of regulatory clarity, potential reserve accumulation, and strategic legislation may push Bitcoin past $123,000 and ignite an XRP rally, marking the start of a new era in U.S. crypto policy and market behavior.
As crypto markets await today’s 2:30 p.m. briefing, traders, investors, and regulators are aligned in anticipation of what could be a turning point for digital asset adoption in the U.S.
